Interview #1.

02 February 09 | 20 comments

These interview questions came to me courtesy of May-B who answered questions here.

1. If you had to eat one baby animal (not currently on menus across Canada and the US) what baby animal would you feast on?
Oh, I’d totally go with something endangered because, if I’m gonna’ eat baby animals, I want to do it RIGHT. Let’s take a trip over to Wikipedia and see, oh! OH! I am totally going to eat a baby Brazilian Merganser because it sounds CLASSY!

2. What line did you promise yourself you would never say to your kids and have now actually uttered?
I was pretty sure I could avoid using the phrase, “I am so disappointed in you for doing X” or “I am so disappointed in your behaviour because you KNOW better” and yet, as it turns out, I have no qualms about busting that one out whenever someone does something totally dumb that they actually DO know better than to do.

3. Where did you see your life going by the time you hit this age? Are you where you thought you’d be?
I’m not sure I ever really thought specifically about being 33, but I was pretty sure I’d be tall (nope) and thin (nope) and living in Toronto (nope) in a very fancy condo (nope) and not married (nope) and working (nope) at some really high profile job (nope) when I was an adult (nope). Clearly my life is one big FAIL to my inner teenager…

4. Name your favourite comfort food and the best reason to eat it.
My favourite comfort food is probably Pad Thai. The noodles and spicy sauce and, yeah, the whole deal is good. It’s a pain in the ass to make, though, so we don’t have it often. As for the best reason to eat it, well, how ’bout “because it’s there and comforting”? :)

5. What is the best way to kill someone and get away with it?
Now now, if I TELL you how to kill someone and get away with it, that’s the first place y’all are going to look when someone turns up missing… so, I’ll just say, “*GASP* I’d NEVER kill someone! NEVER!” and then cackle maniacally and look away quickly..

If you want to play, too:

Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions. (please make sure I have your email cause that helps when trying to actually email someone)
You will update your blog with the answers to the questions. Be sure you link back to the original post.
You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

I just happen to have a baby Brazillian Merganser that I’d been saving for a special occasion…

  *giggle* Well, that special occasion is, clearly, now! Do you happen to have a recipe for it, though? It seems like endangered meats might need special handling beyond my usual, “grill the hell out of it until it’s charred and you can be certain it doesn’t contain any bacteria OR resemble meat anymore” .. Hmm.

    Actually, I think President’s Choice makes ready-to-grill Brazilian Merganser patties. Just throw them on the BBQ and you’re ready to go.
    They’re in the frozen food section. You’re welcome.

      Jeez, no wonder they’re endangered. Make it easy for people to eat ‘em and, well, people will easily eat ‘em!
      
      I’ll have to swing by the store tomorrow…

Tuned in your blog to see what sort of nutbar questions May-B would give you, then read all your January entries. I shall be come a regular reader. Glad to hear Aunt M is coming to visit.
1. violet on 02 February 09 at 5:20 pm
  
  Yay! Welcome!! :)
  
  The kids are pretty excited about Aunt M visiting, too. They may try to keep her here FOREVER! (And I can’t wait to meet her!)

Ha! I knew you would have the greatest answer to number one. I’ve been itching to bring that one out.

P.S. Sorry my dad followed me.
1. violet on 02 February 09 at 7:16 pm
  
  Thanks for bringing it out on ME!
  
  Hey, if your Dad is even HALF as much fun as you, I think he’ll be a welcome addition to the party around here. ;)

I want to play too! (waving hand furiously in the air) Interview me! :-)
1. Kylie on 03 February 09 at 10:08 am
  
  Me first!! Me first!
  1. violet on 03 February 09 at 10:26 am
    
    Wait, Kylie? Do you have a secret blog that you’re not sharing with the rest of the class? :)
    1. Kylie on 03 February 09 at 12:08 pm
      
      I ummm… Maybe… He-he would that be wrong?
      1. violet on 03 February 09 at 12:14 pm
        
        That would be WAY wrong and we’d have to.. umm.. something. We’d do SOMETHING about that! And .. umm.. something. Yeah.
        
        (Was that threatening? I mean, were you convinced? No? Hrmph.)
        
        Kylie on 03 February 09 at 12:36 pm
        
        Yes, yes that was totally threatening and I must confess the idea of SOMETHING terrifies me and I have been thoroughly convinced LOL I’ll have to change my ways!
        
        Sylvain on 03 February 09 at 12:47 pm
        
        It will be SOMETHING at the next party. (now THAT should scare you)
        
        Kylie on 03 February 09 at 12:56 pm
        
        A party?!! *hand clapping*
Amanda on 03 February 09 at 10:23 am

Do me. I know I am sending you questions, and Kelly has already interviewed me, but I’m guessing your questions will be different.
